Mr. Personality!

Look mom...my eyes are OPEN! That's right...not only open, but totally smiling! Oh, how I had forgotten how much I love it when they start to interact and focus. It makes me feel connected. There is not a whole lot in life better than a happy, smiling baby. Before he was ever born, I prayed that he would be our little firecracker, full of happiness and joy and so far...it's a prayer that seems to be completely answered.

Oh my goodness... he just gets cuter and cuter! I love the progression you show here, from simply alert to full-on grinning! He has officially melted me... I am a puddle... ;c)

Aww. These are so sweet, I started to get teary and called over DH. He immediately sensed trouble and quipped, "that font is itching his face" and walked away. It totally worked, I am now LOL. Men!

But seriously, Heather- these pictures of Nate are precious.

Oh my, he is soooo cute, Heather. What a sweet little personality, he is a charmer. I love the one where it looks like he is winking, and of course the big smile on the last one. How is big brother getting along with little N?

Unknown said...

THESE ARE AWESOME! I was going...Ok no._ is my favorite and then I realized I couldn't pic cause they all rock...Those last two just made me giggle out loud though!

pat said...

Ok Heather, more guysing about this adorable little guy. You sure seem to have a corner on the market of cute little ones, between A and N. I just LOVE the 3rd one, with that small, whimsical smile. He looks like he is brewing some mischief. Nice work on these, although he looks like he is becoming very people-oriented.

lcp said...

These photos warm the heart! And you are right, so full of personality. I love your conversions on these and the composition. I guess he is a keeper. :-)

OMGosh I can almost hear that adorable baby laugh just looking at these pictures. He is too cute for words!
I really love the progression of your photos. I kept looking at each one thinking "Oh that one is the cutest" then I would scroll down and see the next one and think the same thing.
Great job!

Oh my gosh, what an adorable little man you have there!! I know you already know that, but still. I don't think I'd be able to do anything but hold and cuddle him all day! :)
